In the river it pulls me under Mmmmm Mmmmm I watched this the river ran Further way from me The water, it touched my skin I stood there silently I held my breath And all this deal The waves of the river grow

All of the way Just down below me is the old sea The further I go More letters from home never arrive And I'm alone Alone and alive As I row, row, row Going so slow, slow, slow Nobody knows, knows, knows

Tear down these walls for me It's not too late for me Stop me from going under You are the only one who knows I'm holding back To keep from sinking further I'm trying to find my way out

Don't make me close one more door I don't want to hurt anymore Stay in my arms if you dare Or must I imagine you there Don't walk away from me I have nothing, nothing, nothing I don't really need to look Very much further I don't want to have to go

You've been growing up You've been growing on Further away from us now And everything below you dies The same fool in the same game My father he told me what goes around Comes, comes around again The faces you see on the way up Are those on the way back

This is my promise to write to you So for you my every word Is the sinking feeling here in my chest I am so far from home but the further away we are the closer I am The closer I feel, the further you get My hands hold on tight to your every word I won't
